We will stay in Japan for 4 months (April-August), because my partner is doing a research stay at Waseda University (Tokyo, Shinjuku Ward) and me and our 5 year old are tagging along.
I know there are several options (yochien/hoikuen) but I am not sure if these are viable options for such a short stay?
In the end we could also manage without childcare, since I won't be working.
But I think it could make our stay more pleasant for my son, if has the possibility to make some friends. I also contemplated to just go to a Jidoukan a few times per week.
Thankfully my son is very open minded to new experiences so I would assume he will adapt very quickly to a new environment, but he speaks no japanese and very little english.
I would love to get your advice on this.
